Fed-official Hoenig: laten we eens even rustig aan doen

'We can't do it all.'

Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Thomas Hoenig said there’s a limit to how much more the central bank can help the U.S. economy and that the focus should now be on solving the country’s fiscal problems.

“We can’t do it all,” Hoenig, the central bank’s longest- serving policy maker, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that airs today. “We have a problem in this country with debt” and “if we don’t turn to the long run, we will be dealing with overnight crises for as far as the eye can see.”

Hardliner Hoenig heeft gelijk. De Fed moet stoppen de economie van de VS met kunstingrepen drijvende te houden.
